<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Provoking Thought and Resonating with Audiences:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> For playwright Jeanette Hill, a play is successful if it makes people think or provokes discussion, even if they don't agree with the content. Similarly, if a character resonates with even one person, it's a success. The goal is for people to leave thinking, even if they don't have a good time. Jeanette believes that if the audience "got it" when they leave, that's what she's striving for. She recalls a time when people in a restaurant were arguing about characters and events from her play, indicating its success in sparking discussion and relating to their lives.</span></div>
<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Inspiring, Healing, and Transforming:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Jeneen Hammond's motivation is to tell stories that inspire, heal, and transform, emphasizing the power of one's own story and voice. This mission to help communities tell their stories, as seen in her nine-month project in Pennsylvania, highlights success through collective impact and revival. Jeneen views herself as a "steward" of stories that come from "Divine orchestration," highlighting a purpose beyond personal gain.</span></div>
<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Authenticity and Vulnerability:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> The show emphasizes that genuine conversations and authentic work are key to impactful connections with the audience. Tarnisha Small, for example, found her voice and confidence through acting by embracing vulnerability and letting go of the fear of failure. Jeneen Hammond notes that writing from an authentic space, truly reflecting oneself, can be scary but leads to impactful stories.</span></div>
<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Emotional Connection:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Success is often measured by the emotional connection a story creates, whether through laughter or tears.

<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">    ◦ </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Overcoming Self-Doubt and Trauma:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Tarnisha Small's journey into acting was sparked by a friend's perception of her potential, helping her overcome low self-worth and shyness. Tamina Ward uses her experiences with childhood teasing, abandonment, and generational trauma to inspire young adults to break free from their past burdens. She intentionally "dropped the pack" of past hurts. Jason C. Louder's stories, like the one about "Baba Tunde the Grio," often focus on themes of love, hope, faith, and overcoming self-doubt and trauma.</span></div>
<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">    ◦ </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Healing from Pain:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Jeanette Hill discusses how her play "Clean Sheets," which garnered a perfect score but theaters were afraid to produce, addresses cultural hurts, aiming to move from a "scab to a scar" for societal healing. She emphasizes that there's "no honor in pain" and that unresolved hurts can manifest as anger or other negative behaviors.</span></div>
<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Embracing a Divine Calling and Stewardship:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Jeneen Hammond believes her writing comes from a "Divine orchestration" and views herself as a "steward" of these stories, emphasizing a purpose beyond personal gain.

<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">• </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Proactive Creation and Entrepreneurship:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Instead of waiting for opportunities, creators like Tarnisha Small choose to write and produce their own films to create roles for themselves and others, recognizing the need to be entrepreneurial. Jeneen Hammond developed "The Dreamer's Village" to help people revive their creative dreams and learn to monetize their gifts, emphasizing taking ownership of one's God-given dream and not waiting for external validation. </span></div>

<div class="paragraph normal ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">    ◦ </span><b class="ng-star-inserted">Allowing for Breaks:</b><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Tarnisha Small advises taking breaks when feeling frustrated, as the industry isn't going anywhere, allowing for a fresh perspective.
